Emergence Magazine - The Nightingale's Song (Film)
Earth Unwrapped | Meeting is a Pleasant Place
In this special film, The Nightingale’s Song, we meet Sam Lee, a folk singer who draws on an ancient lineage of traditional folk music as he joins this elusive bird in spontaneous song.
The voices of nightingales have lit up the forests of England at night every spring for thousands of years, inspiring generations of writers, artists, and musicians. But as climate change and development harm their habitats, nightingales may disappear from the country within the next fifty years. What would be forgotten if we no longer heard the call of this beloved bird?
Through his practice of devotion to the nightingale, Sam opens a pathway into a deepening relationship of care, stewardship, and love with these songbirds and the living world we share.
Please note this event is free and a ticket is not required. It lasts 40 mins and will run continuously from 1.30pm until 7pm during Sam Lee’s Meeting is a Pleasant Place day.
With special thanks to Emergence Magazine for their permission for us to show this film.
Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
